No one....
Finally I begin to believe that it is very difficult to become.

I have been using Torx's iphone theme via WAD3 and WAD. I am fooling around with SPB Mobile Shell, but have not figured out how to customize it as easily as I can with Wisbar stuff via Author mode.
Just curious of opinion on who thinks which one is better and why?
Thanks!
Both applications are completely different. Wisbar wont have animations while switching pages on Desktop. Mobile Shell cannot spread icons the way you want. So choose what is important for you or have both!
In my opinion both are not adviced for Pro WinMo users..
Why wouldn't you advise it? I love my Wisbar and WAD. And recently I've tried SPB Mobile Shell because of the Diamond theme (seems to be the next hype, same way it was with iPhone themes)

I am also trying mobile shell - what is the difference between the Now and Today screens? I am guessing you disable the Today screen by unchecking everything?
Thanks
I have found that SPB Mobile Shell drains the battery faster than just plain HTC Home, which is really sad as I love the Diamond theme...
If you want animation(mobile shell benefit) on transition pages..wait for WAD2(animation added) to be out..it will beat mobile shell for sure
WAD vs. SPB Shell
WAD is a application replacing your default WM today screen. You have to add the shortcuts to the apps you want (you can make it Finger Friendly).
SPB Shell is as it says a shell around WM so all the shortcuts are available. It's Finger Friendly and has some nice extra stuff in it. It's not skinnable by default (just minor different looks), but some people here at XDA have managed to create some great skins.
Today vs. Now
Today is the standard WM desktop
Now is a overview page in SPB Shell (with time, weather, appointments, email, sms and missed calls)
Yea, with WAD, and WA3 together, its almost like giving your phone's OS a makeover. I like WAD better but until I finish making a good theme, I'll be using SPB Mobils shell most likely
Both Work Well Together on o2 XDA Flame
Using both - WHY - Like the startup screen & easy system settings - and like the menu's of WAD - Maybe someone will develop both in one - and yes, it's like a full makeover ! The Flame does have lots of internal storeage space & a Nvida vid card - Come on xda developers - lets see something in the future
Does anyone know what soft is this?(the one that does look like that the battery status and the signal)
It's something for smartphone (non-touch screen). I guess it's skin for Sbsh Facade.
Not sure, but it looks an awful lot like the smartphone version of pointui (www.pointui.com)

This is the portrait version of a Facade theme called Pearl. I don't recall who made the original, but aaroninoraa made the portrait version.
The icons at the top are skinned to SmartMonitor. I don't know if the plugin works for PPC. I've uploaded it so you can disect it.
The original is on the SBSH Facade forums.
Smartmonitor should be included in the zip. Freeware, AFAIK
is there a posibility to use onley the icon bar cuz thats what i realy whant from this homescreen
You could use a custom theme for BatteryStatus to get something similar, and to make it the actual TaskBar, you could use, I forget the name, but Vijay created a tool that removes the bar.
what i need is a software just like the rinku iconbar but to work on wm6.0 standard
Re: the theme you asked about
It's not really an icon bar, AFAIK. It's a theme/wallpaper with images that overlay on top of the faux icons taking their cue from smartmonitor.
DL the file, look at the XML
OK, as most of you probably know, I'm not the big designer...
The background and the general idea is based on notilad's Clear Glass icons set.
Note the icons don't look well on bright backgrounds - they only consist of semi-transparent white...
The main icon image templates are mostly from the free Tango icon library, but some are also from Windows resp. the default app icons, and a few from other icon libraries I found out there...
The SPB PocketWeather theme is based on SPB's Black47 theme.
For SPB PocketPlus, there's also an iconset with black background, so you can memorize the position of the wanted icon there - because it's really hard to see white icons on white background...
The screenshots show some examples: The Today screen uses PocketPlus with SPB Weather as rightmost plugin, below is a custom phoneAlarm Skin using the TGA icons. The MortButtons main menu uses the PNG icons.
Thanks, I will be using these in my WAD2 setup.
Thanks!
Will also try to make a nice looking WAD2 Skin out of them!
this looks incredible! how do I even begin to get something like this on my x1 given that im clueless to installing and making all this unofficial stuff?!
Has anyone managed to tweak some coding to create an application that allows the Facebook panel to be loaded from the Programs menu opposed to using the panels....(Like Pubba's Panel Installer for MXE and Radio)
If Pubba can port to panels as applications,
And if TF3D can be run as a panel rather than a 'Today' option....
Surely it must be possible? Or does the fact it use internet and such make it a bit complicated?
Anyone?
I would try and edit the Pubba launcher panels, but I have absolutely no coding experience...
that would be nice
It would, I like the panels, the problem is you can't really multitask with them, the idea that you can change your today screen is awesome but I'd rather have Facebook as an application that can be launched rather than change my entire screen.
As I said earlier, if pubba can launch the media panels, is it possible to edit his code to launch the Facebook panel instead? I have no idea how to code or even which program was used to code this...
Surely, it can't be such a big job?
Come on, can I atleast get a decent reply?

Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a dedicated thread for sharing widgets we may develop for use with SPB MS 3.0 (now that its officially out!!!).
Here are some ideas for widgets that can be developed imo -
1. Flip Clock (like TF3D)
2. Slideshow widget
3. Media player widget (linking to other music apps such as Coreplayer)
4. Stocks widget
5. Calendar widget (linking to third party PIMs)
Please help!!!
spb ms3 widgets
Very good idea !
Hope that skinners will be at this "rendez-vous".
would be useful a widget for change activesync, mystorage, storage card connection (like wireless widget)
Can these kind of widgets actually be made? I looked at the XML and supplied widgets of SPB, and they all seem to direct to classes in the compiled program.
Perhaps i'm missing something. What I really miss is tasks on your 'lifestyle' screen. I hope it can somehow be made, but atm I don't see how.
What I like to see is an SMS viewer like in TF3D. I don't like to open the MS Inbox every time, when I have a new message.
I'd prefer a RSS widget. I don't get, why they haven't at least integrated SPB Insight...
I'd like to see a Post-it Notes type of widget. Also, it would be cool if you can change the swipe up/down function to open the launcher or contacts screen (or anything else). I have no use for the professional layout because I can basically re-create it in the lifestyle screen.
A Flexmail widget is what i would like to see
They dont have an intgration with SPD time - stop watch ??? Why not?
You can only get one day on the weather, even if you have SPD weather ?
I hate the bottom screen contacts and launcher stuff - total waste of screen space.
And why would you want to see all the available screens (bottom left buttom) ?
It looks nice, but I prefer their standalone softwear. Much more control and functionality.
I would like to have a memory indicator
anyone knows how t do it?

Well, maybe if you tried integrating with their own suite of SPB applications, instead of whatever this SPD stuff is, it might work better?
I seem to have 4 days worth of weather forecasts perfectly fine, here...
i really would like to have a TF3D flip clock that acutally flips.
has any one found that yet??
please i've looking for a while.
